Diabetes UK is appealing for people to donate their unwanted or broken jewellery
so it can be turned into cash.

Dominic Littlewood, co-presenter of the One Show and of Strictly Come Dancing fame,
has Type 1 diabetes and is supporting the appeal. He said: “I know firsthand just
how difficult it can be to manage the condition and about the serious associated
complications like stroke and heart disease.

“I would urge everyone who has any unwanted jewellery, whether it is an old necklace
or mismatched earrings, to send them to Diabetes UK and help them raise vital funds”.
